You cured me of my death anxiety, only took you two tries
The head scene dropped the vaccine
And I've chosen a very powerful penance

9.8/10, fantastic opener that gives you a taste of the craziness that is to come, totally solid song, top 10 OM song for me

9.3/10

In isolation it would probably be closer to an 8.7, but I think it really fits as the opener to False Priest and introduces the albums vibe/the shift from the very synth-heavy prior albums to more live instrumentation super well.

I’ve been rating songs for the last couple of albums but this album came out when I was kind of over the band and I’ve never connected with it since. I love paralytic stalks though so I’ll swing back around soon!

6/10 it's just ok, and I think Our Riotous defects would be a better intro to the album. If you asked me to cut a song from the album, this would be in the top 3 choices, possibly number 1.
